FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to golf clubs and golf club heads and methods for making the same. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] At present, it has been devised to assist golfers in making golf balls when hitting a golf ball. The heads are vertical to improve the golfer's quasi-domain 201121619 5 10 15 various golf club heads. Most golf club heads will configure the weight of the golf club head to change the center of gravity of the golf club head and / Or increase the moment of inertia of the golf club head (eg 'torsion resistance'). The position of the center of gravity of the golf club head and its moment of inertia determine a golf Whether at least some of the factors are moving in a desired direction, and when the center of gravity is behind the strike point on the contact surface and the golf club head is perpendicular to the desired target line, the golf ball follows a substantially straight path Advancing. However, when the center of gravity is away from one side of the strike point and/or the golf club head is not vertical when struck, the golf ball follows a path that turns left or right or only flies left and right. That is, it is often referred to as "small left ball", "small right ball, ", left ball", "right ball, left ball, "right ball". Similarly, when the center of gravity of the golf club head is above or below the hitting point, the golf ball's path will exhibit a lower boring or climbing manifest, respectively. It is advantageous for the golfer to surround most of the golf club head around the high-goal club head, such as a golf club head such as a golf back. In general, these golf clubs are more tolerant than non-cavity golf club heads, and the ball can be hit or misdirected slightly eccentrically, and still produce a good distance and accuracy. Sex. The concave back golf club head helps the average player to reduce the number of missed hits and improve the score. Although golf club technology has improved in recent years, there is still room for improvement and improvement in golf technology. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 3 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 20 201121619 5

In this example, the base side 358 extends in a direction parallel to the front surface 364 of the insertion portion 352 (and when the insertion When the member 350 is coupled to the body member 302, it will be parallel (or substantially parallel to) the front surface 304 of the body member 302. Of course, 'they can be used in the insert member 350 without departing from the invention. Any desired arm length, arm width, arm thickness, base side length, base side thickness 'relative arm angle, etc.. Also, the insert member 350 can be used in addition to Figure 3B without departing from the invention. 10 shapes other than the substantially triangular shape, for example, a rectangle, an ellipse, a circle, a trapezoid, or the like. The open area 356 helps to reduce the overall weight of the insert member 350, and to further reduce the weight of the insert member 350, the interior of the structure (such as its side arms 360 and 362 or the base side 358) can be used if necessary or desired. The hollowed out and formed - an open or "trussed," structure (eg, similar to the structure of the base member 312 of FIG. 15) and/or formed of a nested structural material. In another example, The insert portion 352 is shown in Fig. 38 and includes two cut or excavation regions 3523 and 352b that extend completely through the insert portion 352 (the recesses 352a and 35 can be partially partially if desired) Extending through the insert portion 352). Of course, the 20 cut or scooped regions may be disposed along or along the base side 358 without departing from the invention. If desired, the material used to form the insert portion 352 can be selected to control the overall weight of the device (e.g., lightweight aluminum or titanium material, etc.). The cut or excavation regions 352 & and 352b (if any The words), the opening 21 201121619 area 356 (if any) with the open area of the base member 312, and the material structure used to form at least some of the elements of the elements (eg, by, for example, Ming, Titanium, Record, Polymer, Glass, Ceramics, A lightweight material made of rubber or the like) helps to reduce the amount of m in the entire club head so that the club manufacturer and the designer can add additional weight to other selected positions in the entire club head structure, and Excessively increase the total weight of the club head. This weight distribution and control allows the person to change and/or control the swing characteristics of the club head (for example, increase the moment of inertia of the ball head, etc.), and The manner in which the club head can be redistributed and/or weighted can be used without departing from the present invention. For example, the insert member 350 can include inserts for respectively receiving the weight members 370 and 372. Holes 366 and 368, and such weight members 37 and 372 may be, for example, weighted inserts comprising lead, tungsten or other heavy metals or materials, such weight members 370 and 372 may be utilized, for example. Separable adhesive, thread, elastic buckle, clamp, buckle , the fixing screw or its 15 mechanical connector is detachably mounted on the insertion member 350, so that the special weight members 370 and 372 can be easily taken out from the insertion holes 366 and 368, or matched with others. The heavy components are interchanged, etc. This feature allows the swing characteristics of the entire club head to be tailored to better match the swing characteristics, preferences, etc. of the individual user. 20 Without departing from the invention, the plugs Holes 366 and 368 (and thus the weight inserts 370 and 372) can be placed at any desired location on the entire club head structure 3〇〇. In at least some examples of the invention, such as section 3B 3E shows that the jacks 366 and 368 are located on the insert member 35, and even in particular on the body portion 354 of the insert member 350, Example 22 201121619

As in the 30th®*, the opening of the structural towel extends straight through the body member 302 and terminates at the front surface 304 of the body member 302, so that when the purchasing member 3 is simply viewed, In this configuration example, the front surface 364 of the finger-in member 35G is exposed through the front surface 3〇4 of the body member 3G2. In the scorpion scarf, the body faces (4) 2 and the insert members 35 〇 before the four faces 304 and 364 are flush or substantially flush with each other in the final club head structure, respectively, and the wires (4) 4 and Μ 4 are used as the putters. The ball striking surface of 300 cases. 1〇 3E is a plan view of the club head structure 30G of the 3A to 3D®. In this view, the various "hidden features of the insert member 350 are shown in dashed lines to provide a more complete view of the club head structure 3 of the present invention. As previously described, the use of lightweight materials. (e.g., the insert member 35A, the body member 302, and/or the nest structure 15 material of at least a portion of the handle or grip 380) and/or an open region (e.g., region) in the club head structure The combination of 322, 352a, 352b, 356, etc.) can reduce the mass of the entire club head structure and allow the club to sstand or the manufacturer can place the mass at other locations in the design ( For example, 'using permanent counterweights, separable weight members 37〇 and 372, etc.' and thereby changing and/or controlling the swing characteristics of the club. In the examples shown in Figures 3A to 20 3E, A substantial portion of this weight is redistributed at the outer region of the club head 300 and behind the ball striking face and toward the club head heel and toe (eg, at the triangular insert member body portion 354) The outer circumference, and between the arms 360 and 362 and the base side 358). The additional weight of the club head shown in Figure 3E, the overall club head design 25 201121619 (eg, 'body member 302, insert member 350, and any combination of weight inserts) will have the club head available - a structure and counterweight with a high moment of inertia of at least 100,000 g/cm2 of the hitting surface 3 Q 4 and Nazhong ^, for example, during a swing and/or with an object to be hit ( When a golf ball is in contact with a ball, the moment of inertia provides an anti-torsion force to the club head. During the swing or during contact, a club head that is twisted or twisted will cause the ball to deviate from the line and cause unnecessary The rotation, and/or the missed ball contact position required for the club, results in a reduced strike distance or an incorrect strike direction. Therefore, the high moment of inertia of the club head structure in certain examples of the present invention to V helps The club 10 is prevented from twisting and/or erroneously hitting. Of course, the various parts of a pusher structure can be varied in many variations without departing from the invention. For example, if desired, on the base side 358 of the insert member 350. The connection with the base member 312 can be omitted 1 Thus, the base member 312 does not have to extend all the way to the base side 358. 15 At the same time, the open areas 322, 352a, "holes" may be omitted, covered, and enlarged or reduced, if desired, without departing from the invention. And/or 356. 4A and 4B are perspective views of a further push-push structure 4〇〇 of the principal, and in this example, a body member 402 provides a ball striking portion 4〇4 and a far 20 away from the striking portion 4 The base member 4〇6 extends (and faces the rear of the push rod structure 4〇〇). An opening 408 is formed in the surface 41A behind the ball striking portion 4〇4, and the opening 408 extends from the rear surface 41〇 to the front table (4) 2 which faces the ball in use. In another example, if desired, the opening 408 can be disposed in the other surface of the hitting portion 4〇4, 2011 21619, or not at all. Also, the ball striking portion 404 can take any desired form (and is not limited to the approximate cube form in all of the examples of the present invention) if desired. The base member 40 6 of the pusher structure 400 includes a flat portion 414 5 and a bent portion 416 ' to create a space for inserting an insert member 450 into the opening 408, which will be more detailed below. Description. A handle or grip receptacle 418 is disposed along the bent portion 416 of the base member 4〇6 in an offset manner, of course, without departing from the invention, the handle or grip receptacle 418 or Other handle mounting devices can be placed at any desired location or in any desired orientation. Additionally or alternatively, the handle or grip may be on the pusher structure 400 (including on the insert member 450 or at the body member 4〇2 and the insert member 45 without departing from the invention). Mounted on the pusher structure 4〇〇 at any desired location on both. The insertion member 450 includes an insertion portion 452 and a body portion 454, and the insertion portion 452 is inserted into the opening 4〇8 of the body member 402, and the body portion 454 faces rearward and away from the ball striking portion. The direction of 4〇4 extends. In this example, the base member 406 of the body member 402 is not attached to the body portion 454 of the insert member 450, but the body member 4〇2 can be at the interface of the insertion bruise 452/opening 408 The insertion member 45 is connected (for example, by using an adhesive, a refining, a fixing screw, a bolt, a dislocation, a clasp, another mechanical connection, a tight friction fit, a fitting, etc.). Alternatively, the body member 402 and the insertion member finger may be detachably interconnected to form a pair of structures' and the entire club head 400 may be changed by, for example, exchanging the body member 4〇2 and the insertion member 45〇. Rod characteristics. This feature allows the user or the ball 27 201121619 rod assembly to freely customize the club 'with its interchangeable body member 402 and/or insert member 450 to match its swing characteristics or preferences, and to match the playing situation (eg Fast gliding greens for slow gliding greens, wet conditions, dry conditions, etc.). 5 In the illustrated example, the body portion 454 of the insert member 450 is generally triangular in shape and has side arms 456 and 458 and a base side 460. The body portion 454 has a lighter weight region, in this example an open region 462 formed in the body portion as an embodiment. At the same time, all or at least some of the portions 10 of the insert member 450 (and/or the body member 402) may be constructed of a nested structural material (eg, a nested metal, semi-metal, amorphous metal), if desired. , polymer, rubber, ceramics, etc.) to further reduce the weight of the body portion of the entire club head structure 400. Further weight regions 464 and 466 may be disposed in the angular region of the triangular base structure (i.e., the base side 46 is joined to the two side arms 456 and 458) to thereby the club head structure 4 The 15 square, heel and toe regions redistribute weight (e.g., using the nested structural material and/or open area 462 structure to reduce weight). In the example of the pusher structure 4, in addition to providing selectively separable weight members (such as those in the first and the first), the weight regions 464 and 466 may also be set to Having the open region 462 extending straight to the corner of the triangular structure (eg, at least some of the metal, nested structural material, polymeric material, or other structural material of the body portion 2 454 remains in the body portion away from the blow The area of the ball portion 4〇4, or 'these areas may be made of a denser or weighted material such as a sorghum or tungsten material and/or have a structure comprising the denser or counterweight material. If necessary, additional weights can be embedded and do not deviate from the present invention, and 201121619 = force! etc. in the weight areas 464 and 466, or - can be selectively separated into the product * if there is any The weight may be in the form of a metal or counterweight, tungsten, etc., a weighting agent (such as a material), or any form that does not deviate from the present invention. In the figure A, the front surface 468 of the insert member 45 is opened, exposed, and forms at least a portion of the ball striking face of the pusher structure 4GG, and the front surface 468 of the insert member 450 and the body member 4 〇2 before the table & this is not flat in the example (and - the entire ball striking face forming the putter structure 400), but 'if necessary, these surfaces do not have to be

20 flat, for example, the insertion member 45 〇 front surface 468 may extend out of the opening 4 〇 8 and in front of the front surface 412 of the body member 4 〇 2 (eg, such that the hai surface 468 monolithically forms the The striking structure of the pusher structure 4). The front surface 468 of various sizes and/or shapes through the opening 4〇8 (if any) may also be used without departing from the present invention. The pusher structure 400 of this example includes additional features. For example, as shown, the base side 460 is curved and provides a marking area 470. These features provide an interesting feature for the club head putter structure 4 Design, if required - a club manufacturer, manufacturer, etc. may provide a logo, product name, model number, owner's name, and/or other indicia or material in the marked area 470. In addition, Figures 4A and 4B The pusher structure 400 differs from the examples shown in Figures 3A through 3E in that the base member 406 of the body member 402 extends from the top of the ball striking portion 404 rather than the bottom surface. Thus, the base member 406 Flat portion 414 extends far The front surface 412 and the insertion member 450 are embedded under the base member 406. The structure 400 also provides an f-fold portion 4i6 extending in different directions and the structure of the structure 29 201121619 described in FIGS. 3A to 3E. Grip jack 418. Of course, without departing from the invention, the base member 406 can be disposed at other locations, including under σ, open side, and/or the other. Without departing from the invention In the following, there may be a variety of other 5 structural changes, etc. At the same time, the entire putter head structure 400 may be formed as a one-piece construction without departing from the invention. Figure 5 shows some examples of the invention. Another example of the pusher structure 5A. In this configuration, the pusher structure 500 includes a ball striking face 5〇2 and a body portion 5〇4 extending away from the ball striking face 502. The generally designed push cup head can have a moment of inertia centered at the center of the ball striking face 502 and at least 20,000 g/cm2, and in at least some instances the moment of inertia is at least 25, 〇〇〇g/ Cm2, and in some instances even at least 28, 〇〇〇g/cm2. As with the various examples described above, the materials comprising all or at least some portions of the golf club head 5 can help provide the necessary moment of inertia. For example, all or at least the body portion 504 Some parts may be made of a lightweight material such as a lightweight polymeric material (eg, polyamide or nylon material, a polymeric nested structure material, etc.), a lightweight metal material (eg, a nested structure of aluminum, titanium, and / or nickel material), etc. In at least some examples, the body portion 504 of the club head and the ball striking portion 506 (eg, the club head includes the portion of the ball striking face 5 〇 2 2 )) may be For example, the aforementioned nested structural material is integrally formed into a single, one-piece construction. However, the body portion 504 can be designed as an insert if desired and the insert is embedded in one or more openings provided in the ball striking portion 506 as detailed in Figures 3A through 4B. The other way is that the body portion 504 can be coupled to a separate ball striking portion 506 in any desired manner (eg, 30, 2011, 1919, using adhesives, mechanical connectors, soldering, etc.) without departing from the invention. on. Without departing from the invention, the ball striking portion 506 can be made of a material different from the body portion 5〇4 (e.g., each made of a different nested structural material, etc.), if desired. ). 5 The ball striking face 502 can take a variety of forms without departing from the invention. For example, the ball striking face 502 may be integrally formed only as the foremost surface of the ball striking portion 5〇6. In another example, the ball striking face 5〇2 can be used as a metal plate, a polymer coating, or a connection such as an adhesive, a screw, a mechanical connector, a coating technique, or the like. Other materials formed on the ball striking portion 506. In still another example, the ball surface 502 and/or the ball striking portion 5〇6 may be integrally formed with the remaining portion of the body portion 5〇4 as a single, single, without departing from the present invention. Piece construction. In another example, at least a portion of the ball striking face 502 can be inserted or formed as a portion of the body portion 504 (or another structural member), and the insertion is broken. The opening formed in the ball portion 506 is inserted substantially as described in Figs. 3A to 4B. Other ways of providing the ball striking face 5〇2 can be used without departing from the invention. Other features of the club head 500 contribute to the advantageous aforementioned moment of inertia 2, for example, the body member 504 can be designed to extend behind and outside the ball striking face 5〇2. For example, the side arms 508 and 510 of the body member 504 can extend behind and outside the ball striking portion 506. The body member 5〇4 may further include a base member 512 extending rearwardly of the ball striking portion 506 in a manner parallel (or substantially parallel) to the ball striking face 502. Thus, the entire club head structure 5〇〇 can have a substantially trapezoidal or triangular appearance (eg, depending on where the sides 31 201121619 the arms 508 and 510 engage the ball striking portion 5〇6), and a selectivity The open area 5M is formed at the center thereof. The side arm views 510 are shown to be shorter than the ball striking portion 5〇6 (into the page of Fig. 5), and the base member 512 has a thinner portion 516. These smaller dimensions and the open area 5 514 help to reduce the overall weight of the body member 504 (and such weight can be selectively used for redistribution in the club head structure 5 as detailed below). Other locations). If desired, the side arms 5〇8 and 51〇 and/or the base member 512 can be hollowed out and/or at least partially produced and/or formed in a “truss” manner from a nested structural material. To reduce their weight again (and then make this weight available for redistribution at other locations). In at least some examples of the invention, the size of the club head 5〇〇 can be quite large '' equal to or close to the limits allowed by current USGA rules and guidelines. At present, the USGA guidelines impose restrictions on the design of the putter head: (8) the maximum full width of seven inches (as in the size "A'," in Figure 5 (AS7 inches); (b) 15 is smaller than the size "A" Maximum full depth (such as size "C" in Figure 5) (A >C); (c) at least 2/3 of size "C" and a maximum face width of at least 1 / 2 of size "A" (eg 5 in the figure "B") (B^2/3C and B21/2A); and (d) the maximum height of 2.5 inches (such as the page in and out of Figure 5). In the example shown, the body Member 504 includes a pair of weight member receptacles 518 and 520 positioned behind the ball 2 502 and at least outside of the surface 502 (eg, toward the heel and toe of the club head) In particular, at least some portions of the weight member receptacles 518 and 520 are positioned outside a plane perpendicular to the ball striking face 502 and at each end 502a of the ball striking face 502. And at 502b (see planes Pi and P2 in Figure 5). If desired, in the absence of the 201121619 departure from the present invention, in at least some instances, the entire weight member receptacles 518 and 520 can be located Outside of these planes 522 and 524 (such as lead, tungsten or other heavy material inserts) may be disposed in the weight member receptacles 518 and 520, respectively, at or near the outer edge of the club head structure 500 or such Additional weights are provided at the heel and toe. Thus, at least some of the weight members 522 and 524 (or all) are also outside the planes P| and P2. Figure 5 The structure 500 further includes a base portion 526 extending away from the ball striking surface 502 and facing the rear of the club head structure 5, and the bottom portion 10 15 20 portion 526 can be disposed on the ball striking surface 502. Centrally, and thereby acting as an alignment aid for the putter head structure 500 (e.g., identifying the desired ball contact position of the club head). The base portion 526 can extend from any of the modes without departing from the invention. Or connected to the ball striking portion 5〇6 and/or the body portion 5〇4, for example, the base portion 526 can be connected to the body body by, for example, an adhesive, a fusion bond, a solder joint, a mechanical connector, or the like. Part 5〇4, the hitting surface, and/or one or more of the hitting parts 5〇6. In another example, \ Deviating from the situation τ of the present invention, the base portion 526 can feed the body back 5: the ball striking face 5〇2, and/or the ball striking portion 5〇6 is integrally formed into a two-piece one-piece construction, and Optionally made from - or ^ = = material of these elements.

The bridging member 268 can also extend through the first rear pocket 626 in other directions and can be attached to various other locations on a club head structure, such as, for example, John Stites, without departing from the invention. It is shown in U.S. Patent No. 6,45,897 issued toK. The bridging member 628 can have any desired shape, such as rectangular, elliptical, triangular, trapezoidal, square, or other symmetrical or asymmetrical shapes. The bridging member 628 can also have a uniform or non-uniform width throughout its length. Bridging in any desired manner, including by mechanical connectors (such as rivets or screws 63〇), fusion techniques (such as welding, soldering, brazing, etc.), bonding techniques (such as adhesives or adhesives) Member 628 can be coupled to toe 610 and/or heel 6〇8 (or other portion) of golf club head 604. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the bridging member 628 can use fewer or more attachment points 15 or 70 and/or through the majority than in Figure 6B without departing from the invention. Other attachment devices and/or methods connect the toe 610 and/or the heel 608. In other examples, if desired, the bridging member 628 can be formed with and/or become a single component with the golf club head 6〇4 in a single casting process whereby the bridging member 628 and the golf ball are The club head 604 is formed in a one-piece construction. In a golf club head 604 of the illustrated example of the present invention, a second rear pocket 632 is disposed beneath the bridging member 628, as shown in Figure 6B. Please refer to Fig. 6C, which shows a cross-sectional view of a golf club head 6 〇 4 example. As shown, in this configuration, the main body portion 64 of the golf club head 6〇4 is formed of, for example, a nested structural material 201121619 made of foamed aluminum, titanium, nickel or the like. A panel 642 is formed on and/or overlaid on the nested structural material 64A to provide a strong, resulting surface for the ball. The panel 642 can be combined with the main body portion 640 in any desired manner, including as a one-piece construction; soldering, soldering, or soldering thereon; Or an adhesive is bonded thereto; coated or filled therein (for example, coated or filled with molten metal or polymer, etc.) or the like. At the same time, the panel 642 can also be made of the same or a different material than the material of the main body portion 64. The structural example shown in Fig. 6C shows that the bottom portion 616 of the golf club head 6〇4 extends to the selectively disposed wall portion 634 of the bridging member 628, and the wall portion 634 is at least partially created or defined. A second rear pocket 632, and the second rear pocket 632 includes an opening below the bridging member 628 and in the golf club head 604. The wall portion 634 can be formed to include a front surface (facing outward, toward the second recess 632), a rear surface (inwardly facing toward the fifth recess 626), a top surface, and a bottom surface. If desired, there may be a space between the surface behind the wall portion 634 and the rear face 624 of the golf club head 6〇4. In addition, additional components such as weight members, plastic members, fluid-filled bladders, pressurized bladders, and the like may be disposed in the first rear pocket 626 and at the bridging member 628 and/or if desired. Or between the wall portion 634 and the rear face 624 of the club head to change, for example, the sound 'vibration response, swing feel, and/or other sensor characteristics of the club head 604. The wall portion 634, when present, can be integrally formed with the club head 6〇4 and/or the bridging member 628 to provide, for example, additional support and rigidity to the bridging member 628. The wall portion 634 may be linear, curved or otherwise shaped depending on, for example, the shape of the bridging member 628, the shape of the 37 201121619 club head 604, the desired appearance, and the like. Similar to the club head 6〇4, the wall portion 634 and/or the bridging member 628 can be made of, for example, stainless steel, titanium, graphite, plastic, polymeric materials, composite materials, combinations thereof, and/or typically on a golf club 5 Made of other materials used in the manufacture of the head. Also, the club head 604, the wall portion 634, and the bridging member 628 may be made of the same or different materials without departing from the invention. The additional support and rigidity provided by the wall portion 634 to the bridging member 628, if any, will help prevent or reduce deformation of the bridging member 628 when in contact with a golf ball. In addition, if necessary, the wall portion 634 can provide at least some damping effect when the ball striking surface 618 strikes a golf ball, and the wall portion 634 can also be used as a reconstruction of the club head 6〇4. Use. The wall portion 634, if any, can be fixedly attached to the club head structure 6 〇4 in any desired manner, without departing from the invention (e.g., 5 solids are attached to the bridging member 628 and/or Or on other parts of the club head 604). In some other examples, the front surface and/or the bottom surface of the wall portion 634 can be fixedly attached to the bridging member 628 and/or the bottom portion 616, respectively, by an adhesive or adhesive. Alternatively, the wall portion 634 can be embedded in the surface of the bridging member 628 and/or the groove or 20 in the bottom portion 616, if desired, as will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art. Various other methods for attaching the wall portion 634 to the bridging member 628 and the bottom portion 616 (or other portions of the club head structure 6〇4) are present without departing from the invention. Moreover, it should be understood that various other methods of these connections are within the scope of the invention.

S 38 201121619 During the game of the ball, the player holds and swings the golf club 600, causing the club head 604 to cross the generally curved path and strike a golf ball. Next, a portion of the inertia of the Schalf cue 600, and in particular the inertia of the golf club head 604, will be transmitted to the golf ball to advance the golf ball. When hitting the ball, the position of the center of gravity of the club head 604 can affect the flight path of the ball, such as 'the golf ball will bend to the right, bend to the left, or a generally straight path, and a curve. When the center of gravity of the club head 6〇4 is just behind the point where the ball is joined to the ball striking face 618, the golf ball will follow a generally straight path. However, when the center of gravity of the club head 6〇4 is away from 10 and is located on the side of the point at which the ball is joined to the ball striking face 618, the golf ball follows a path that is bent left or right. The position of the center of gravity of the club head 6〇4 in contact with a ball also affects whether the golf ball will be low or penetrated according to the center of gravity above or below the point at which the ball is combined with the ball striking surface 618. Track or a high, climb trajectory. 15 While the notion of using a golf club 600 to propel a golf ball toward a desired target may seem quite simple 'but the real practice of advancing the golf ball in a desired manner can be quite difficult. For example, when the player actually wants When the golf ball is advanced along a substantially straight path, the golf ball is always curved to the right. Many conventional golf club heads have a center of gravity at the ball striking face of 20, but changing the center of gravity of the golf club head 604 for different golf clubs should help many golfers make the shot Face 618 advances the ball perpendicularly and preferably along its desired path upon impact of a golf ball. At least some portions of the golf club head 604 or other portions of the golf club structure (e.g., the neck 612) are assisted by the club design 39 201121619 because the club designer and the manufacturer are selective Place the counterweight and move the center of gravity position to better affect the ball flight path. For example, the "far position _ ball face 618 of the golf ball 604 and toward the golf club head 604 can preferably match the golfer's hitting traits, style, and preferences. The position of the center of gravity of the golf club head 604 can be reset relative to the ball striking face 618 as compared to other golf club heads. 'The golfer can modify or modify the path of a golf ball using the golf club head 6〇4 of the present invention. The center of gravity of the golf club head 604 is also referred to herein as the "mass center," and the 10" is the balance point. In detail, the center of gravity of the golf club head (8) 4 is a point, and the point that the full weight of the golf club head 6〇4 can be regarded as concentrated is that if it is supported at the point, the club head 6〇 4 Static balance can be maintained in all positions. The position of the center of gravity of the golf club head 604 can be varied by varying the weight distribution of the golf club head 604, for example, by making a lightweight nesting structure and placing additional weight away from the ball striking face 618. According to some examples of the invention (for example, in the sixth to sixth examples (the example shown in the figures), changing the weight distribution of the golf club head 6〇4 can at least partially utilize the weighting bridging member 628, The reuse wall portion 634 and the selectively disposed weighting elements (described in detail below in Figures 7-11) are achieved. 20 In other specific examples, the bridging member 628 can be used to increase, for example, relative to the shot. The weight of the golf club head 6 〇 4 of the face 618. Adding weight to the rear of the Nalph club head 604 will change the center of gravity, position of the golf club head 604, and by lowering the center of gravity toward the golf ball Moving behind the club head 604, the golf club 600 can have a high ball striking capability when hitting a golf ball 40 201121619. In addition, the shape, position, and weight of the bridging member 628 can also affect the golf club head. The center of gravity of the 604. For example, on a longer iron (such as zero to five irons and / or hybrid clubs), to; some golfers must make the center of gravity lower than the corresponding shorter irons (such as 5 six, Hardcore to each The weight of the wedge is increased. The center of gravity of the bridge will help a golfer get additional high ball ability and lift when they hit the ball. Therefore, according to the present invention In some instances, the bridge member 628 for the longer iron or hybrid club can be positioned at a lower position behind the golf club = 10 604 compared to the bridge member 628 on a shorter iron. Reducing the center of gravity of the golf club head 604 can also be achieved, at least in part, by the use of wall portions 634 or other weighting elements, and the wall portion 634 or other member can also be used to add the golf club head 6〇4. The weight of the rear face relative to the ball striking face 618. Increasing the weight of the golf club head 604 at a position below the golf club head 6〇4 lowers the center of gravity of the golf club head 604, thereby making the golf club head 604 can advance a golf ball with a higher trajectory. Further, as previously discussed, wall portion 634 (and/or other weight members) can be used to increase the support of bridge member 628 and prevent or reduce bridging members. 628 in a golf course The deformation of the touch time, and this larger support force can be increased by a distance of 20 to the distance after the golf ball hits the golf club head 604. Figures 7-9 show other examples of the iron-type golf club head, The golf club head may include a nested structural material (eg, forming some or all of the major portions of the club head body) and other weight members to enable the club designer, club assembler, user, etc. Modify the center of gravity of a golf club head 41 201121619. These modifications can be used to change the characteristics of a typical ball flight path to give birth to the ball

Optionally disposed wall member 634, etc., and the main portion of the head body of the (4) head body is formed and the ball striking panel (4) is formed or provided with a club head bridging member 628 having a counterweight, and a on. However, in these iron structures, the additional weight members and the bridge members 628 are disposed to re-move the center of gravity of the golf club head 604 of the club face of the club head 10 (4). In the structural example of FIG. 7, the additional weight is disposed on the club head structure 7 through one or more weight members 702, and the weight element 7〇2 is connected thereto. Bridge member 628. As shown, the weight members 702 can be coupled to a plurality of predetermined mounting locations 15 7 4a, lions, and/or plates located on the bridge members 628. Positioning the weight member 702 at the position 704a of the bridge member 628 generally allows the toe portion of the club head structure 7 to move slightly later than the heel during the swing to add one to the ball. A more open club face, and a small right-handed ball bias is provided to the club (eg, to correct the golfer's left-handed ball flight path). Positioning the weight member 7〇2 on the 20 bridge member 628 at position 704b generally allows the center of gravity of the golf club head 6〇4 to move rearward relative to the ball striking face without causing the golf club head 6 to 4 having a slight left or small right curve flight path), and positioning the weight member 702 at the bridge member 628 at a position 7〇4c generally allows the toe portion of the club head structure 700 to be The swing moves slightly earlier than the heel to add a more open club face when hitting the ball 5 42 201121619, and provides a small left-handed ball bias to the club (for example, to correct the golfer's ball Right-handed ball flight path). By making at least some portion of the club head structure 700 (e.g., the major portion of the club head structure 700) from a nested structural material, another weight 5 can be included in the bridging member 628. And/or in the weight member 7〇2, and does not disadvantageously increase the total weight of the club head for additional control of the ball flight path. Of course, any method of securing the weight member 702 to the bridging member 628 (or the other portion of the club head structure 7) can be used without departing from the invention. These include screws, rivets, set screws, resiliently biased latching mechanisms, or other mechanical connectors; adhesives, adhesives, or other bonding methods; welding, soldering, brazing, or other methods of fusion. Advantageously, the weight member 702 can be detachably attached to the bridge member 628 or other portion of the club head structure 7〇〇 for the user, the 15 club assembler, the manufacturer, the salesperson The weight member locations 704a, 704b, and/or 704c are removed and/or changed. Such removable weight members are well known in the art of the invention and are already in use. Fig. 8 shows an example of a club head structure 8 similar to that of Fig. 7, but with different types of weight members 802. In this configuration example, one or more of the weight members 20 802 can be positioned at various predetermined mounting positions 7, 704b and/or 704c, similar to those shown in FIG. Thus, the position of the center of gravity of the club head structure 800 can be in the heel-to-toe direction of the club head structure 800 in the same manner as it can be changed and controlled in the structure 700 of Figure 7 above. Control and change. However, in this case of the structure 800, the weight member 802 has a shape 43 and a weight (for example, 'the area frequency has a _ shape and is heavier at the bottom thereof), so that it is reread ( And therefore the entire center of gravity of the club head structure _ can also be controlled in the vertical direction of the club head. For example, by making the component $G2 have the purity of the first (the heavier portion of the weight member 8〇2 faces downward), the center of gravity of the weight member (and thus the club head structure 8) The center of gravity of 00 can be placed below or below the lower face of the club head. This configuration allows the user to advance the golf ball with a higher trajectory (and to make the scale "provided - higher finer; to assist 10 15 one may have a golfer who is unable to fly in the air" By rotating the weight member about its mounting position (in the illustrated example, the lion), the entire weight member 8〇2 (and its center of gravity) can be raised relative to the (four) plane And thus the club head structure _ can also be raised relative to the club head face. - The higher center of gravity configuration allows the user to push the golf ball at a lower trajectory (and bias the club to provide - lower) Execution to assist a golfer who will play the ball very high.) Use at least some parts of the club head structure made of _ nested structural material (for example, the main structure of the club head _ Partially, 'additional weight may be included in the bridging structure and/or configuration (4) 2, and does not adversely affect the total weight of the club head' in order to control the ball flying pure ship. The younger y圃 shows 900 cases of the club head structure including 77 yr阢 仵 仵 902 Compared with the structural examples shown in Figures 7 and 8, the club head structure has more weight characteristics. In other words, in this structure, the weight member is a safety-_ Read the _4, and the track or slide mechanism 9G4 is set as the part of the structure of the bridge member (10).

S 44 201121619 To open the screw 9〇6 or other clamping mechanism, the weight member 902 can be freely moved and positioned along the sliding mechanism 9〇4, thereby being as previously constructed for the seventh and eighth figures. The position of the center of gravity of the club head in the heel to toe direction is generally controlled. However, by providing the track or slide mechanism 904, the reconfigurable 5 piece 902 can be positioned at any position along the bridging member 628, not limited to the predetermined mounting positions 704a, 704b and/or shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. Or 704c. Additionally or alternatively, the weight member 9A2 can be designed such that the center of gravity of the club head structure 900 can also be changed in a vertical direction, as desired, for example, as previously described with respect to FIG. An elliptical and / 10 or irregular weight member is used. At least some portions of the club head structure 900 (such as a major portion of the club head structure 9) are fabricated from a nested structural material, additional weights may be included in the bridging member 628 and reconstituted The weight of the entire club head is not adversely affected in the piece to provide additional control over the ball flight path characteristics. 15
